Setting up PPT to loop continuously, displaying "real time" data

[PaulN]

I would like help from anyone who can help with any of the following.

I am attempting to set up PPT to loop continuously importing data from
another source (Say, Excel) (The intention is to use a PC as a "window
display")

So do the following.
1. On PC Reboot, start PPT automatically, open the desired file straight
into "slide show" mode.
2. On starting PPT, it should read an excel file and update some of it's
data.

PS There is an option to copy from excel and "Paste Special" into PPT.
"Paste Link" lets me read desired data from Excel, but only after manually
pushing an "Update Link" dialog box. I would need to kill that.

Thanks.

Paul,
For live data feeds have a look at www.take-off.as/datapoint

To start PPT automatically put your file into the Startup folder.
